Yeh called this super-indulgent treat “a midwest classic” in a Food Network YouTube video clip.
“They are so sweet and satisfyingly chewy,” Yeh declared.
One secret ingredient sends these bars over-the-top
Yeh incorporates a classic peanut butter and chocolate combination to make these delicious treats.
However, the bars’ chewy texture comes from the inclusion of cereal flakes.
“These flakes help achieve the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy texture,” Yeh said,
The core ingredients include sugar, light corn syrup, vanilla, kosher salt, and unsweetened peanut butter.
Also necessary are cereal flakes, such as Special K, dark chocolate and butterscotch chips, and flaky salt.
The method includes combining the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt over medium heat and cooking until sugar dissolves.
Stir in peanut butter, followed by cereal.
These items are then poured into a prepared pan and packed down firmly and evenly with a spatula. Scatter the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips all over the top.
Molly Yeh’s secrets to the perfect dessert recipe
“These come together so quickly,” Yeh added of her chocolate and peanut butter bars.
“They are a no-bake treat,” the Food Network star explained.
However, she does have several secrets to creating the perfect dessert bite.
Yeh utilizes her oven to expertly melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips that top the peanut butter mixture.
When the sweet treat comes out of the oven, the chips remain intact but softened.
However, Yeh uses an offset spatula to spread the melted topping over the top of the bars, creating a thick and satisfying layer of chocolate and butterscotch goodness. She tops it with flaky salt and sprinkles.
The dessert has both sweet and tangy notes.
“They’re so cute!” says an enthusiastic Yeh in the video.
The complete recipe for Molly Yeh’s chocolate and peanut butter bars is available on The Food Network website.
Girl Meets Farm airs Sundays at 11 a.m. EST on The Food Network.
